Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 12/08/2014
This, like the first Hellboy, is del Toro on holiday in Hollywood, having as much fun as he can without totally compromising his considerable powers of invention. Go to Full Review
Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 12/08/2014
4/5
Hellboy II is fabulously imaginative, visually sumptuous and dramatically complex; what's more, it's very funny and engaging. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Independent (UK) 12/08/2014
The film's exuberance, and the sense that it's all one big gimmick-packed action toy, give Hellboy II: The Golden Army a refreshing cinematic purity. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Full of imaginative creatures and settings, Del Toro lets loose on this fun sequel that improves what came before. Ron Perlman is perfect as the cocky hero with a heart. [Full review in Spanish} Go to Full Review

7/10
There's still too much posing for the camera, but the introduction of dozens of new fantastical deviations drowns out the typical overdose of heroic photo stances. Go to Full Review

The rarest of sequels that is actually better than its predecessor. Go to Full Review

shane O @Shanes_DVD_Shack Apr 27 I don’t like it as much as the first one , some of the charm of the first film just isn’t in this one . But over all it’s a good movie. The story get a little lost at times. But over all a good watch . I do wish there was a third film to finish the story See more Enrique R. @NostalgicNerd Apr 25 One of my favorite movies of all time! I love this movie and I’ve seen it 2000 times. Ron Perlman as Hellboy is awesome and he has lots of humor. Same as Doug Jones, man. He is great as Abe, and this might be his best work with Del Toro alongside with Pan’s Labyrinth. But, Guillermo Del Toro does not play, he does great with the editing, the direction, the visuals. The action sequences are well choreographed. The villain was interesting. But, overall, I got to give Hellboy II: The Golden Army an A+ or a 10/10.
